Can Fast Blue Optical Transients be Cosmic Pevatrons?
摘要
Abstract
The new class of recently discovered astrophysical objects—fast blue optical transients (FBOT) demonstrated a high luminosity of radio and X-ray radiation and the expansion velocities above 0.1 c over a year time scale. They are likely sub-class of core-collapse supernova events. We present here results of modeling of particle acceleration in mildly-relativistic shocks associated with FBOTs. It is shown, that objects with mildly-relativistic shocks can be possible sources of particles with energies above 1 PeV, and emit detectable fluxes of hard X-ray radiation.
